Come join local author Sue Fox McGovern as she speaks about the process of raising butterflies at Wild Birds Unlimited in Palos Park Saturday, August 20, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Throughout the summer, Sue finds eggs from monarchs, black swallowtails, tiger swallowtails, and red admirals in her backyard and raises each species. She will bring in various eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalises to view at the talk. Check out her website at http://BackyardButterflies.com and her book "Raising Monarchs: Caring for One of God's Graceful Creatures" by visiting the online bookstore at Sunbury Press or on Amazon.
